Thread: Where to source wire for custom cables?

off the top of my head, try these:

www.parts-express.com
www.alliedelec.com
www.digikey.com

if you want to order from allied, or digikey, it might be easier to just order the book first-- their websites are nearly impossible to navigate if you don't have the part number of what you need.

I forgot to mention, I'm in Canada. Usually places like digikey absolutely crush you on shipping internationally.

dang, all of the companies i know of are US based...

Best company I know of in Canada is Alberta Computer Cable (www.cablesbyacc.com).

ACC does not seem to sell bulk cable. They sell assembled cables only or offer to make you a custom one. That would be cool but I get the feeling that customers will want custom lengths...

Buy rolls off eBay if you can find a seller with cheap shipping to Canada, or try your local auto parts store. As a mechanic (in the US) I buy rolls from auto parts stores all the time, and sometimes off eBay for personal use.

I haven't found any good deals coming to Canada from eBay unfortunately. Either people only have one color or huge shipping.

Ya they do, we outfitted an entire sound booth at my old work with thousands of feet of audio/power cable all from ACC.

When I look at the site, I see audio and power cables, but I don't want audio cable and the power cables all have ends on them...
